Video tutorial

The video shows the removal of the torsion bar from the rear suspension axle. The state of oxidation indicates that this vehicle has been driven on snowy roads treated with salt, which has led to rust formation and the subsequent breakage of the bar. This bar is made from a solid steel tube characterised by significant toughness (a feature that allows it to withstand stresses without deforming) and has ends shaped with a millerighe to fit into the respective hubs.

To remove the bar, it is first necessary to dismantle the entire rear suspension axle. Once on the ground, proceed by cutting the bar (as it is already damaged) and extracting the pieces from the hubs by striking with a hammer or by removing the hubs and placing them under a press.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
